OOTW-Week 11- "Only know you love her when you let her go, and you let her go"

Image
After a few weeks of being back home it still hasn't sunk in that my first year of university is finally complete. I'm starting to feel regulated now by having a routine of work, although I miss the hustle and bustle of uni life. It's too quiet and calm whereas I'm so used to the noise and the manic spur of the moment events that occurred. I do really miss Southampton; my girls and the shopping (of course) and also the independence I had there, I'll be returning soon though sure enough. Here are my outfits of the week: Top Left : A lounging day at home I wore- Off the shoulder jumper from Hollister , Aztec print shorts from Topshop and Tights from Primark. Top Right: An evening out with the family I wore- Cord patterned blazer from Primark , Scallop vest top from Topshop and Checked treggings from Topshop . Bottom Left: My last day in Southampton I wore- Denim shirt from Primark, Skull printed vest top from Topshop , Leggings ...

OOTW-Week 10- "I need your love, I need your time"

Image
It seems the sunshine is here to stay, finger crossed- with good weather comes the excitement of summer finally beginning. Although with two more big assignments left I'm not thinking about summer just yet otherwise I'll go off on a tangent and avoid the amount of work I still have left. With only a few days now till the end of first year it's clear that summer is just round the corner for me. But before that the uni work NEEDS to be done, so maybe I should switch off Hollyoaks and continue where I left off. Here are my favourite outfits of the week: Top Left : Black off the shoulder dress worn as a top from Asos , Cross necklace from Primark , Blazer from Primark , Distressed boyfriend jeans from Primark and Brogues from New Look . Top Right : Mickey mouse crop top from Topshop , Checked treggings from Topshop and Heels from River Island . Bottom Left: Laced collared dress from Topshop Bottom Right : Black midi dress from Boohoo , Denim jacket and trainer...

OOTD- " Let the sun shine"

Image
Sunshine makes everything better; the views, peoples moods and the occasional stroll here and there. With my first year of university slowly coming to an end in 10 days (where have the past few months gone?!) the stress of the amount of work I still have to do is mentally draining me. As it's bank holiday you'd expect with this weather me to be in a beer garden with my favourites just relaxing, but instead I'll be in the library or in my room finishing off my last two units. Wish me luck, here's my outfit of the day: Denim Jacket: New Look Black Love T-shirt: Love Label Spiked Necklace: Primark Grey Treggings: Topshop Trainers: Converse Enjoy your bank holiday!

OOTW- Week 9- "We're up all night to get lucky"

Image
With the sun shining, this month is getting better by the day. The endless shopping trips that are killing my overdraft, the drives to the seaside and my best friends 21st is stopping me from the reality of the endless uni work I have to do. Although with the 7 hour coach journey back to Southampton tomorrow maybe I will start to crack on with my uni work. Here are my outfits of the week: Top left: For a late day of uni I wore-Leopard print collar dress from Love Label , Spiked necklace from Primark, Plain black tights from Primark, Cream brogues from New Look. Top Right: For my birthday night out in Southampton I wore- Tweed playsuit from Love Label.

OOTD- Outfit of the day, "You could be the greatest, you could be the best"

Image
After one of my best weekends at home it was time to do the tedious long journey back to Southampton. I celebrated my 21st birthday on the Friday and my hangover is still lingering over me- I have my friends and family to thank for this with them buying me a dirty pint. I wanted to wear something comfortable for the journey but also try some of my new clothes out. Oversized Baseball Top- Topshop Spiked Necklace- Primark Blazer- Primark Leggings- Topshop Coloured Metallic Socks- Urban Outfitters All Star Trainers- Converse I love this Topshop top, its so versatile and can be worn with absolutely anything day or night! They now do it in black as well, I may have to purchase it.

OOTW-Week 7 "One way or another, I'm gonna see ya"

Image
I'm writing this post a day early due to the fact it's my beautiful sisters birthday tomorrow and unfortunately I'll be spending it on a coach back to Southampton. I have never missed any of my siblings birthday's before so I'm gutted I have to miss hers, although when I'm back next week I have a few surprises up my sleeves for her. I'll keep you posted on them! In my last OOTW entry I was saying how the sun is starting to rear its head again, but unfortunately I was very wrong. It was so cold and dull last week my bed became even more tempting to hibernate in. Here are my four favourite outfits of the week: Top Left: A casual freezing day at university I wore- Cut out shoulder jumper from River Island , Heart necklace from Primark , Dogtooth printed treggings from Topshop and Nike blazers. Top Right: A busy day shopping and at university I wore- Dark purple pepulum top from Primark , Studded wait belt from Primark , Mid sleeved cardigan from Top...

OOTW Week 6 "It's like your my mirror"

Image
All the days seem to blurring into one right now. I cant believe how quick this year is going already, were nearly in March! It's been a massive week for fashion and music with the phenomenal London Fashion Week going on as well as The Brit Awards, and how can you forget Rihanna's debut first range for River Island. AMAZING!! But of course I can't forget to mention Justin Timberlakes comeback performance in far too long at The Brits, he is definitely getting better looking with age! I've only got 3 weeks left at university before I break up for Easter, but even though I'm so excited to go home now, I'm definitely not excited with the amount of work I have to do before. This seems to be a regular moan of mine every week, so I do apologise! These are my five favourite outfits of the week: Top Left: Going out for lunch with my flat mates I wore; Diamond vest from H&M , Military shirt from Primark , Black plain leggings from Topshop and High wedged traine...

OOTW- Week 5- "I want you to stay"

Image
It's been such a long dragging week, but the weather has definitely put a bounce in everyone's step. The sunshine is slowly starting to make an appearance finally, although the cold weather is still very much around. This week I've spent a silly amount of money that I really don't have, thank god for my over draft! But it's gone on some worthwhile items, well I think so. I finally put my deposit down on my hair, not saying just yet what I'm having done but it's gonna be a big change, I'm so excited! Then I brought a cheeky few basic items from Boohoo that I'll blog about later this week. But for now here are my four favourite outfits of the week: Top Left : For a nice chilled night of cocktails with my flat mate I wore; Printed sleeveless top from Topshop , Blazer from Internacionale , Black dog tooth printed treggings from Topshop , Black high wedged trainers Internacionale and Bow bag from Topshop. Top Right: A laid back look for universi...

OOTW-Week 4- "I knew you were trouble when you walked in"

Image
Wow! Week four, I cannot believe how quick the weeks are going or even the fact we are now in February, its mad. It's been a dull week here in Southampton with the continuous rain and the blistering coldness, that still hasn't got the hint to leave so we can start to have some warmth in our lives!   Top Left : For a early cold morning at university I wore Jumper from Topshop , Studded waist belt from Primark , Checked Leggings from Topshop and High top wedged Trainers from Internacionale. Top Right: Going to the library on my day off I wanted to try out this long Denim Shirt I got from Ebay that I've never worn! With Glittered Leggings from Primark , Studded waist Belt as before and All star Converse Trainers. Also accessorized with my new Eagle Necklace from Topshop. Middle : My first night out in a while I wore my new Denim Skirt from Topshop , Studded waist belt as before, Lace insert Dress worn as a top from Topshop . Unfortunately you can't see my To...

OOTW-Week 3- "You turned out to be the best thing I never had"

Image
I can't believe how quick this week has rushed by, I can't remember the majority of things that have happened and for once I was only drunk one night... well maybe two but that was my bosses fault. With university work escalating up by the second and me struggling to reach the top, I went home for a bit of me time and to be around my loved ones. I always thought going to university your closest friends would slowly start to drift away and forget the memories you had together, but this week has shown what an amazing group of friends I truly do have. Though not to forget my family who never cease to amaze me with how supportive they are, I couldn't ask for anything more! Anyway enough of my soppyness, here are my five favourite outfits of this week: Top Left: A cold early morning in Southampton I wore a Lace insert dress from Topshop , Patterned woolly cardigan from Topshop , Topshop Leggings and Internacionale High Tops. Top Right : For a night out I wanted a more c...

OOTW- Week 2- "I'm not afraid they can read all about it"

Image
After over a month of over indulging on ridiculous amounts of sleep, over eating, doing absolutely nothing and spending like I have an endless supply of money I went back to uni last week. Not going to lie setting my alarm for 6:50am for 3 days in a row did kill me! Three 9am starts out of four, this term is going to be a struggle to get up for. But after learning what we are doing for this term I'm actually quite interested in what this term has to offer. Enough of blabbering on here are my 5 favourite outfits I wore this week: Top Left: Early morning start for University I wore a Long love heart t-shirt which I tucked in to make it smaller from Topshop from 2 years ago, Disco pants from River Island and my comfortable Nike blazers. Top Right : For a long day at University I wanted a more casual outfit so I wore a Jack Daniels top from Ebay , High waisted jeans from Topshop , Blazer Internacionale and again my Nike blazers. Bottom Left : Dressing up a simple outfit wit...

OOTW- Outifts of the week -Week1 "I wanna scream and shout!"

Image
As the weather is getting colder it's understandable people are dressing more for comfort and warmth more than anything else.This is something I agree to to a point, however I'm the worst judge when it comes to the weather, I always check the weather everyday to ensure I wont be to hot or cold... but still to no prevail. Looking at the weather today it said -1 in Southampton and cloudy, I thought I'll be fine in a skirt 2 layers of tights , a t-shirt and a jacket ... HOW WRONG WAS I! Freezing was an understatement, my leather skirt was riding up and my legs were like two icicles slowly getting colder by the second. The thought of wearing a onsie to university is becoming more and more appealing. Although the weather has had us all snuggled up in bed in copius amount of layers, we've all still tried to carry on like we can't see the weather getting any worse. Here are my five favourite outfits from this week including two outfit's of going out with my alcohol j...

Primark Nail Polish- Is it really that good?

Image
Being a first year student I'm starting to realise the value of money, sort of, well not at all to be honest. After freshers week and going on the odd shopping spree or ten I am now ridiculously poor. So now I realise when my mum said I should budget I should of maybe listened to her. Like anyone else I love having my nails done whether they're simply painted or done using acrylics- I hate plain nails they bore me so much. I wanted something different on my nails this time I was bored of the one dimensional colours I always have, I wanted something more dimensional. Seeing as I'm low in funds I decided to have a browse in Primark for some- stereotypically Primark is seen as a cheap place to shop however you can't always guarantee the quality. I was a bit sceptical at buying the nail polish at first as I thought it would be one of those cheap nail vanishes that would be really runny or just cheap off easily. Although I was far from wrong.... I d...

An extra 3/4's of an hour in bed.. pure bliss

Image
So as my previous blog entry "Deciding on an outfit the night before= extra half hour in bed" did so well I decided to do another blog like this. It roughly takes me about an hour to get ready in the morning (maybe an hour and a half if I include my morning cuppa and a bowl of cereal) which isn't bad for a woman. Though sometimes that extra few minutes in bed can make all the difference! Recently my sister has been New York for her best friends hen weekend (very jealous, she saw Ben Stiller also- Out of Dodgeball-Hilarious) and she's one of those get up and go kinda women, so for once I wanted to prove her wrong and show that I would be ready on time (which would be a first). I chose my whole outfit include jewellery the night before, so that all I had to do in the morning was shower and do my makeup (my hair had been washed that night so all I had to do was straighten my fringe) SIMPLE.  This isn't a very clear picture but I've had these cowboy inspired...

Deciding on an outfit the night before=extra half hour in bed

Image
Like any other girl/women its a struggle deciding what to wear in the morning or even at night, this is the main reason I'm always late I can never decide on an outfit and it frustrates me so much. Its not like I have nothing in my wardrobe, completely the opposite! My wardrobe is exploding with endless supply of tops,vests, shirts, blouses, skirts, shorts.. name it I have it... Maybe that's why Ive had three new wardrobes since the beginning of this year. But for once I decided to plan my outfit the night before, for me this is a rare as I'm used to taking a good half hour deciding what I want to wear then changing it as I don't think its suiting my body at that time or its too laid back. I'm used to people saying I'm always "dressed up" but I don't feel it, I just wear things I feel comfortable in or I think suits my mood for the day sort of thing. For example last night I wanted to wear something plain and simple for college today with just...
